Andrew Zonneveld, a first-generation college student and government concentrator at Harvard College, passionately believes in the impact of public service, particularly through teaching. With aspirations to work in public education in North Carolina, he acknowledges the significant influence of his teachers growing up. Zonneveld's background on a military base shaped his commitment to education policy and community service. His early leadership experiences in student government display his motivation to effect change in the educational system, indicating a future where he may impact education on a larger scale, including possibly entering politics.
"Doctors are great. But doctors are only doctors because they had great teachers," said the first-generation college student from North Carolina.
"I would love to be a public school teacher for a few years," said the Leverett House resident.
"I think it has a lot to do with the strong connections he formed with the teachers he had as a kid. But I guess I think there’s something bigger out there for him."
"I won president in third grade or fourth grade," he said. "In my speech, I promised the principal would kiss a pig if we raised enough money through Box Tops."
